Project "2VertySX"

[ph1tnessjunk1e]

Hey everyone, thought it was about time to start a build page!

So I have a 1993 240sx Convertible I bought late last year. I found this baby on Craigslist and drove all the way to Long Island to pick it up. Believe it or not, it has virtually no rust! The only rust I've found has been some surface rust.

Here's what it looked like when I picked it up:







This is my first project and I'm already learning a lot. It's certainly a lot more involved than I had anticipated.

Here's what I plan on doing:

2JZ motor converted to single turbo
CD009 (350z transmission)
Rocket bunny body kit
Suspension: considering air ride or coilovers
5 lug conversion with wide wheels

I've found the RB kit is either love or hate, incase you don't know, this is what the RB kit looks like:



Of course there are some other things that will need purchased... like I'm sure some misc suspension components (i.e. tie rods, sway bar, etc). I'm also likely to purchase bigger brakes which may include new brake lines.

Here's my progress so far:









Had a friend helping me through the process...



Next up on the list is to get the RB kit and get the car painted. I'm considering a grey matte color with copper wheels.
